Greetings again sisters!
Here's another day to live for the One who died for us! Let us remember His love in doing that for us. That is a true picture of love. We know love always has actions.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.John 3:16
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1 John 4:9-12
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.1 John 3:18
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.Galatians 2:20
Awesome scriptures of truth! Let us rejoice in our good and merciful and gracious and kind and caring and faithful and forgiving and compassionate and truthful and longsuffering and loving God! Let us rejoice in His great goodness which gives us hope and leads to repentance!
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.Psalm 86:4-5
It would be fruitful to study each of those things (and more) that the Word says God is! That would help us grow in the knowledge of God as we are commanded to do!
We know there is a great lack in the world of remembering the severity and fear of God. Some focus on that and others just focus on His love. Both are dangers aren't they.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.Romans 11:22
We know it's even more severe punishment now if we don't heed Christ.
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews 10:28-31
So let us be wise sisters, fearing God, continuing in His goodness.
This is our hope...
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Colossians 1:21-23
We can be and are (if we're continuing in the faith) holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight! That is a miracle which we could never do ourselves. Glory to God!
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.Proverbs 3:5-6
The Lord is the only trustworthy one and full of truth! We don't want to lean on our own understanding. As we know, we test all things to the Word of truth. There are some who say they are testable and will repent of error when in reality they're not in all things. We are so human aren't we sisters. We have to be very careful as we can be very wrong. Let us cling to Christ and His Word and keep being humble before Him knowing we are nothing, but doing our best...with His help. He knows our hearts. It is the Lord of glory and of great hope who will bring us out of this mess of deception around us on this earth. Let us cling to the truth we know! Less of man's words, more of His!
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;2 Timothy 3:13-14
Good blessings from the Lord I get to prepare...
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.Genesis 1:29
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.Genesis 9:3-4
I hope all your good works are going well sisters! Keep pressing on in them. We must continue in them and not grow weary! Let us remember the goodness and greatness of the One whom we are serving!
Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;Psalm 105:4-5
Lord willing I will be back here tomorrow. Keep fighting the good fight of faith sisters! One day we shall reap if we faint not!
The Lord be magnified!
Love to you all in His name,
Sister Chayil
